MELANIA TRUMP, 48, is the wife of Donald Trump, 72, President of the United States. Former White House staffer Omarose Manigault-Newman has made shocking divorce claims in her book, released yesterday.

Melania Trump is “counting every minute” until she can leave her husband, according to one woman who once worked in the White House with Donald Trump.

Magazine website InStyle has reported that in a new book the former-reality TV star Omarosa Manigault has claimed: “Melania is counting every minute until [Trump] is out of office and she can divorce him.”

The shock claim is just one of many made in the publication, which other members of Donald’s staff have condemned.

Omarosa Manigault is a former The Apprentice contestant who worked as a political aide for Donald Trump between January 2017 and January 2018.

In her book Omarosa said of Melania Trump: “It’s my opinion that Melania was forced to go to the border that day in June, essentially, to mop up her husband’s mess.”

“She wore that jacket to hurt Trump, setting off a controversy that he would have to fix, prolonging the conversation about the administration’s insensitivity, ruining the trip itself, and trying to make sure that no one asked her to do something like that again.

“Not that Melania doesn’t have compassion for immigrant children; I’m sure she does.”

She said: “(Melania) gladly, spitefully, wrecked her husband’s directives to make him look foolish.”

Omarosa Manigault Newman was reportedly fried from her job at the White House for treating the White House executive car service “like a personal uber”.

However, Melania Trump and Donald have aways appeared to display a united front.

After the relationship was rocked by cheating claims from adult film star Stormy Daniels Rudy Giuliani, 74, attorney to President Donald Trump said: “(Melania) believes her husband, and she knows it’s untrue.”

Mum-of-one to Barron Trump, 12, also released a statement via her press secretary to remind the public she is focused on her family.

The statement read: “While I know the media is enjoying speculation & salacious gossip, Id like to remind people there’s a minor child who’s name should be kept out of news stories when at all possible.”

“She’s focused on being a mom and is quite enjoying spring break at Mar-a-Lago while working on future projects.”
